*sigh* I just lost everything I wrote because I accidentally clicked on something. So here we go again...
I'm here and I haven't written in a while. Blame it on being a little bit lazy and discouraged. I haven't really lost any weight at all this year, regardless of the effort. Is this how it works when your in your mid-20's and up? This used to be so easy. I am losing inches, though. I keep losing inches in my waist. As long as the dress fits, which is does now, there is no reason to complain.
I've been working out 5-6 days a week. I bought 4 new The Firm DVD's that are perfect add-ons to the series I already have. Two are cardio sculpt, One of them is just sculpt, and the last is a brand new cardio DVD that just came out this week, called Cardio Dance Fusion with Allison. I will try it out tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Now I have 8 DVD's to choose from so I don't get bored. I usually do 3 days of cardio sculpt, 2 days of cardio only, and one day of sculpt only.
Mike also bought us a NordicTrack elliptical trainer so that he could work out. I use it on days when I really don't want to do the Firm but would rather watch my TiVo shows. Now Mike is having pain and soreness in his chest/heart area when he exercises vigorously so it's time to see the doctor.
Wedding plans are going well. We have pretty much everything booked and ready. We just sent out our Save the Date cards last weekend. They are super-cute. Mike and I chose a picture of us from 2004 when we had been dating for about one or two months. We were on the beach being silly, so Mike wore my girly shades and I wore my friend Kat's bug-eyed red shades. Check it out!
I hope all of you are seeing success in your weight loss!!! I'm on my way to check on you now. :)

Heya....
Sorry to hear that your efforts are producing the results you want. I love your save the date cards--- cute cute!
I hope you have a good week Leanne! It's good to hear from you!
Yeah, sorry to hear you are having a rough time. I think I saw that in a comment on someone else's blog. How's Mike? Did he go to the doc yet? I know this is about you, but when you are stressed because of his health, etc it affects you.
(( HUGS ))
I had never seen something like your save the date cards, but those are cool!
I love your Save the Dates. So, July 20th, huh? I so wish I could get there for your wedding. LOL! Sorry you've been having a tough time lately. (I saw that on April's blog.) If you're losing inches, I think that's what matters. More so than pounds!
So, how long is the Cardio Dance Fusion DVD? I bet it's longer than 35 minutes, huh? I need a cardio ONLY DVD that is no longer than 35 minutes for my non-strength training days.
I hope Mike is okay. When is he going to the doctor?
About your weight loss, I know you probably are, but with all your working out, and calorie burning, are you eating enough durning the day to sustain yourself? Maybe that is what is keeping you from losing.
Either way, you losing inches and thats great!! You can do this! Glad you back posting!
sorry to hear about mike's health problem. :( i hope that it turns out to be nothing too serious or nothing to be concerned about.
on the other hand, i love your save the date cards. the two of you are so very cute together and i think it's awesome that you can do the weight loss thing together and cheer one another on. that helps tremendously. again, the number on the scale is far less important than the inches... the pounds will follow surely.
thanks for checking in on me! i know i'm long overdue for a post...
are so more important than pounds. I found out I have large bones even though when I was 104 I wouldn't have thought I had large anything..lol But large bones don't mean you look large, but my cheeck bones were sticking out so I was to thin even though the weight charts have me down as a healthy weight there. Probably great for someone with small bones or younger but at 42 and large bones I will never starve myself that low again. I know now I can look hot and be healthy at a much higher weight. Plus you can still fit in your dress and that is awesome!! I loved your save the date card.. :-)
I hope Mike is OK. I know though having an elipitical and/or treadmill can be life savers! I am walking on my treadmill 6 days per week now and I go slow for now and am slowly increasing my pace. Sorry so long..{hugs}
Uh, no, more like mid 30's! You have age on your side, Leanne! Maybe your body is just happy where it is right now! I think you look great! Just keep toning...like you said; your dress fits, so no complaints allowed!
Love the Save the Date picture!!! So cute! Glad you got the ball rolling and are getting so much done! Mike is a cutie pie, too! I already knew how adorable you are....I don't think I've really seen a pic of him before.
I am losing inches, though. I keep losing inches in my waist. As long as the dress fits, which is does now, there is no reason to complain.
I love your save the date cards--- cute cute!
